Why A Tactical Watch Choosing a military watch is about picking function over form, and having a timepiece that can withstand far more punishment than a flashy wrist adornment. They typically have elongated battery lives and often opt for solar charging to stay ready for action. Their inner workings are simplified to limit alterations in time based on damage sustained, giving them more accuracy when the going gets tough.
